Legendary Son-in-Law: The Man with Poison Talismans

She looked at Lin Mu, and her eyes suddenly reddened.

"Young master...do you dislike this servant?"

Lin Mu was taken aback: "No, no, that's not what I meant."

Chunxing lowered her head and whispered, "If I don't serve you well, you can teach me, sir. If you think I'm stupid, I can learn. But if you don't let me serve you, then you're disliking me."

Her voice grew softer and softer as she spoke, and by the end, tears were welling up in her eyes.

Lin Mu was at his wit's end looking at her, who looked like she was about to cry.

"Alright, alright," he sighed, "you can come."

Chunxing raised her head, her eyes bright.

"Really?"

Lin Mu nodded helplessly.

Chunxing immediately smiled, tears still clinging to the corners of her eyes, but her face was beaming with joy.

She picked up the small wooden basin, walked to the bathtub, and squatted down.

"Young master, let me rub your back."

Lin Mu sat in the bathtub, feeling extremely uncomfortable.

Chunxing took a handkerchief, moistened it with water, and carefully wiped his back.

The movements are gentle and the force is moderate.

Lin Mu was tense at first, but he gradually relaxed.

As Chunxing wiped the water, she asked softly, "Young master, is the water too hot?"

"Not too hot, just right."

Lin Mu leaned against the tub, letting Chunxing rub his back.

He suddenly understood why landlords and wealthy people in ancient times liked to be served.

He kept his eyes closed and spoke to Chunxing in a disjointed manner.

"Chunxing, how long have you been following Miss?"

“It’s been ten years,” Chunxing’s voice came from behind. “I’ve been with you since you were a child, Miss.”

"Ten years...how old are you then?"

"sixteen."

Lin Mu hummed in agreement.

Sixteen years old, which would be considered a high school student in modern times.

She's already a maidservant here.

As Chunxing rubbed his back, she whispered, "Young Master, where did you go today?"

Lin Mu closed his eyes and casually said, "I went out for a walk."

"Wandered around?" Chunxing clearly didn't believe it. "Wandering around all day? How could you get that hungry?"

Lin Mu remained silent.

Chunxing waited for a while, and seeing that he didn't answer, she didn't ask any further questions.

She simply sighed softly, and her movements became even gentler.

"Son-in-law, could you... come back earlier in the future?"

Lin Mu opened his eyes and glanced at her.

Chunxing lowered her head, so her expression was not visible, but her voice carried a hint of grievance.

Lin Mu remained silent for a second.

Then he nodded: "Okay."

Chunxing raised her head, her eyes wide open and shining.

"Really?"

"real."

Chunxing smiled, her eyes crinkling with laughter.

"Then this servant will boil water for the young master's bath every day from now on!"

Lin Mu felt a little conflicted looking at her happy expression.

This little girl really takes him seriously.

He closed his eyes and continued soaking in the bath.

After taking a bath, Lin Mu felt completely refreshed and fell asleep as soon as he lay down on the bed.

I slept very soundly that night.

When I woke up, it was already bright outside the window.

It seems that actually slaying monsters is much more tiring than sitting in front of a computer.

Lin Mu stretched his shoulders and heard a few crisp cracking sounds.

He had just sat up.

Footsteps could be heard outside the window, followed by knocking on the door.

"Son-in-law? Are you awake?"

"woke up."

The door was pushed open, and Chunxing came in carrying a tray with several steamed buns and a bowl of porridge on it.

She placed the tray on the table and said with a smile, "Young master, eat it while it's hot."

Lin Mu nodded and got out of bed to wash up.

Chunxing stood to the side, watching him finish washing up and sit down to eat, when she suddenly asked, "Young Master, are you going out again today?"

Lin Mu took a bite of the bun and mumbled an "Mmm".

Chunxing paused for a second, then whispered, "Then...can this servant follow you today?"

Lin Mu looked up at her.

Chunxing felt a little embarrassed by his gaze, lowered her head, and whispered, "This servant will not cause any trouble and will stay with you, promising not to disturb you."

Lin Mu thought for a moment, then shook his head, realizing that fighting monsters was too dangerous.

"No."

Chunxing looked up, her eyes reddening again.

Lin Mu looked at her and felt a bit of a headache.

"I'm going out to take care of some important business, and it's inconvenient for you to come along."

Chunxing bit her lip and didn't say anything.

Lin Mu sighed, took out several dozen copper coins from his pocket, and stuffed them into her hand.

"Here, buy some snacks."

Chunxing looked down at the copper coin in her hand, then looked up at Lin Mu.

Lin Mu looked completely sincere.

Chunxing was silent for three seconds, then whispered, "Then...then you must come back tonight, son-in-law."

Lin Mu nodded: "Definitely."

Chunxing smiled, put the coins away, and ran out.

Lin Mu watched her retreating figure and shook his head.

This little girl is so easy to please.

He had just stepped out of the courtyard when Chunxing blocked the doorway again.

This time she was carrying a large cloth bag.

Lin Mu was stunned for a moment: "What is this?"

Chunxing shoved the cloth bag into his arms, her eyes reddening again.

"Son-in-law, did you skip lunch yesterday?"

Before he could answer, Chunxing continued, "There are a dozen or so sesame cakes inside. Take them with you and eat them when you're hungry."

Lin Mu looked down at the bulging cloth bag in his arms, then looked up at Chunxing.

The little maid's eyes were red, and she looked at him earnestly.

"Young master, I'll be waiting for you to come back," Chunxing said. "You must come back." This time she didn't mention evening.

Lin Mu nodded, put the cloth bag away, and said something with difficulty.

"it is good."

Chunxing then smiled, turned around and ran back into the yard.

Lin Mu stood there, watching her figure disappear into the courtyard gate, feeling a mix of emotions.

This little maid isn't easy to coax; she just goes along with him and truly takes him seriously.

Chapter 14 Shopping

After leaving the Qin residence, Lin Mu arrived at the shopping street again.

It was the same weapons shop.

Lin Mu pushed open the door and went in. The shop assistant, Xiao Li, was dozing off behind the counter.

Upon seeing Lin Mu enter, his eyes lit up, and he quickly went to greet him.
